Combining Jax with all that anti-air, how does he work with all the main fighters? What do those pairings turn into in terms of what the player has available to them? That’s going to be a fun thing to see, what players come up with as far as those combinations.
Sonya has these combo starters.īoon: That’s precisely what we’re aiming for. Jax seems like he has a lot of anti-air abilities. GamesBeat: It’s interesting to see how some Kameo fighters fit different play styles and strategies. We like players to think about–the most iconic characters, a lot of them are in both Kameos and the main roster. We do want to have, in general, a separation. GamesBeat: Are you worried that people will become disappointed if a character they want added to the main roster is instead introduced as a Kameo?īoon: I think a lot of players assume that if you see someone as a Kameo fighter, they’re not in the main roster. You can even do a fatality with the Kameo character.īoon: Yeah, we really integrated them into the fight as much as we could. GamesBeat: I was surprised by how they’re part of other abilities, like Fatal Blows and even the throws. We really feel like anybody can use a Kameo. Or toward and shoulder button, away and shoulder button. It’s just one touch of the shoulder button and the character comes out. We had that in MK9 and a lot of players loved it, but some players were intimidated by the idea that they had to learn two characters in order to be able to switch between them.

We didn’t want to have a full tag system. That’s when the whole assist coming out came about. Why would he have a drone? So we changed those to fit the character idea that I was pushing. It didn’t make sense for Liu Kang to have a drone. My thing was, if we’re going to do this, they can’t just be tied to one character. They wanted Sonya to have a drone, Kung Lao to have a floating hat or something like that. It would be flying around and always with her. They wanted to have these almost companions, like a drone accompanying Sonya. The design team came to me with an idea they had. I’m curious about where the idea came from and how it evolved into this key feature for the new game.īoon: I definitely wanted to have appearances from some of our other characters who weren’t in the roster. But this is a lot more involved than I was expecting. When I first heard about it, I assumed that they were like assist attacks.
GamesBeat: The Kameo fighters are interesting. There’s definitely some, what you might take in as surprise appearances by some of the characters from the 3D eras. We have characters who represent the arcade era, and then there’s the Deadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon era. Are we going to see more characters beyond the original trilogy?īoon: Yes. But seeing someone like Kenshi in there is reassuring. GamesBeat: One of my concerns was whether we were just going to see the original Mortal Kombat cast. Kenshi is a fan favorite that did not debut in the original trilogy. It felt like Mortal Kombat fans who know these characters will have a good time seeing new origin stories, new relationships and stuff like that. Was it fun to play with this familiar universe in a new way?īoon: As we were crafting the story and changing the origins and relationships of the characters, the more we did that, the more novel it felt. You have an opportunity to work with all these classic characters, but you have these interesting ways of twisting them up. But the response was, I think, exactly what we were hoping for. There’s always a bit of nervousness there. There’s a lot of excitement around the demo.Įd Boon: It’s the first time that people outside of the company got their hands on it. GamesBeat: Mortal Kombat 1 is one of the games that everybody’s talking about at Summer Game Fest.

I had a chance to talk with Mortal Kombat 1 director (and series co-creator) Ed Boon at Summer Game Fest Play Days about Kameo fighters and other new features.
